Planning Your Visit to The Drexel Collection

Dating back to 1891, the same year the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry was founded, The Drexel Collection serves as a passport to appreciate art from around the world—as well as to understanding the history of the University. The curators of The Drexel Collection invite alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends of the University to visit the three galleries on the University City campus that house this rich Collection.

Admission is free, and the galleries are open to the public.
